1. Trends in the relative contribution of each second-line diabetes medication class, by quarter, as a percent of all second-line prescribing, 2011–2015.
Trends in the relative contribution of each second-line diabetes medication class, by quarter, as a percent of all second-line prescribing, 2011–2015. Each line represents a quarterly time trend for the percent of all second-line drug starts (ie, all six categories combined) that were contributed by each class; values for all six classes in each quarter total to 100%. DPP4, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors; GLP1, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists; INS/B, long-acting or intermediate-acting insulin given as a basal (rather than mealtime) injection; SGLT2, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors; SFU, sulfonylurea or meglitinides; TZD, thiazolidinediones.
